Today has been pretty boring so far. I woke up with a headache and I've felt a little "loopy" most of the day. I went to the mall and Target earlier to browse. Target's website has the TI-89 Titanium calculator (the one I'm looking at for college) but their store didn't have it. Amazon and some other sites have it so I may just end up buying it online. It doesn't really matter, I have a long time to get it.

At the mall I took a look at those Simon Mall debit cards. I've been thinking about getting one so I could buy things online without my parent's credit card. Well the lady at the service desk told me she knows a lot of people who come by and buy them just to shop online so I figured they must work online. I got home and tried setting up a Yahoo! Wallet account and realized the billing address of the credit card is not the same as my home address. I tried anyway and got an error telling me the zip code has to match that of the billing address of the card. Next I tried the mall's address and I got the same error. I e-mailed Yahoo! and Simon Malls asking what in the world I'm supposed to do so hopefully they actually e-mail back. After trying to find information on that problem for about an hour I decided to look up my balance on the card. Well Yahoo! charged me $1 each time I tried to setup the card. Yes, EACH time. So now my $25 card is worth $22. Normally websites charge the $1 when you set it up and then give it back when you buy something, so that better be the case in this event. No matter what happens, I'm still pissed at the lady in the mall. "Oh yea, a lot of our customers buy these to make online purchases!" - yea, sure lady. Next time actually know what your talking about instead of making up crap. So now I have $22 of money that expires in a year. Hell of a deal if you ask me!

In other news, the Cubs are playing tonight. They beat the Cardinals last night and are only one game behind first place now. It's going to be on ESPN so everyone better watch it. I didn't get to see the game last night because it wasn't on TV in Green Bay but I watched the live updates that CBS Sportsline offers. Also, the NBA draft it tomorrow and of course it's on "NBA TV" so you have to pay to see it. We paid for the NBA League Pass channels last season and I can't believe they want us to pay even more for one more channel. The NFL Draft is free, why isn't the NBA Draft?

I'll post more on the gift card thing later. My money is on either both of the companies not responding to me, or at least one of them not responding.
